The Copa Centroamericana  The Copa Centroamericana – the championship of Central American national teams and a qualifying tournament for the CONCACAF Gold Cup – could be held in the United States in fall 2014 or January 2015, according to FutbolMLS.com and reports from Prensa Libre in Guatemala and Prensa Grafica in El Salvador from UNCAF meetings this month. The tournament, held in January in recent years, would mark the 25th anniversary of UNCAF, the governing body of the seven Central American national associations, if held in 2015. The idea of hosting the tournament in the United States was raised publicly at UNCAF meetings in Costa Rica last month, but discussions have evolved this week with the suggestion that El Salvador is bidding to host. Officials are also considering moving the tournament to the autumn months of 2014. If the tournament is held in the United States, possible sites include Washington, Dallas, Houston, and multiple cities in California www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/01/29/central-american-national-teams-could-hold-copa-centroamericana-tourney-us |

The Union of Central American Football (UNCAF) confirmed on Tuesday that it will play the 2014 Copa Centroamericana tournament in the United States between Sept. 1-14. Matches are expected to take place in Washington D.C., Houston, Dallas, and Los Angeles. Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama will take part in the tournament, with the top five finishers earning a place in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. According to a report by Spanish news agency EFE, one of the main reasons for moving the tournament to the U.S. was the financial incentive of playing games in front of big crowds of expatriates. The previous edition of the Copa Centroamericana took place in Costa Rica in January 2013. Los Ticos prevailed in the final, 1-0, against Honduras. www.soccerbyives.net/2014/02/copa-centroamericana-place.html
